While reading an excellent introduction to SI `“Symbolic Interactionism:
An Introduction, An Interpretation, An Integration”`_ by `Joel Charon`_
I was thinking about my research (of course) and about the current craze
about rising murder rate in the City of Boston. Although I certainly do
not want to diminish the real pain of murdered victims’ families, I just
do not see anything so terrible around, which would deserve `moral
panic`_ going around just now.
So, for example `today’s “Here and now”`_ was introduced by the headline
declaring `“Stop snitching” T-shirt`_ as part of nation-wide conspiracy
to frieghten witnesses to testify in gang-related court cases.
